Abstract

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

The global market for medical laser devices was $2.7 billion in 2010. As it
recovers from the effects of the recent recession, the market is expected to
increase to more than $3 billion in 2011 and $6.8 billion in 2016, a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.3% over the 5-year period.

The European market for medical lasers was $560 million in 2010, a figure that
is expected to increase to $627 million in 2011 and $1.2 billion in 2016, a
CAGR of 14.6% between 2011 and 2016.

The combined European market for diagnostic and therapeutic ophthalmic lasers
was $136 million in 2010. This segment is expected to approach $164 million in
2011 and $467 million in 2016, a CAGR of 23.3% between 2011 and 2016.

REPORT SCOPE

INTRODUCTION

STUDY BACKGROUND

Medical lasers are a multibillion-dollar global industry. Lasers are used in a
wide range of medical applications, from cosmetic procedures to diagnosis and
therapy.

The global recession of 2008 and 2009 had a significant negative impact on the
market for medical lasers. Much of the demand for medical lasers comes from
elective procedures such as laser-assisted eye surgery, which many consumers
postponed as they tightened their belts in response to the recession.

Somewhat paradoxically, the market for lasers used in certain minimally
invasive cosmetic surgical procedures (e.g., hair restoration,
photo-rejuvenation with intense pulsed light, and laser body contouring) held
up relatively well in the recession. Meanwhile, the market for lasers used in
surgical applications that cannot wait until the economy turns around remained
comparatively strong. The longer-term outlook for the medical laser market is
much better. Indeed, demand may experience a " bump" as the economy improves
and consumers who have postponed elective laser procedures during the
recession decide to have them. Another force for possible change in the
medical laser market is the new U.S. health care law that was enacted in 2010.
The law imposed a 5% excise tax on elective cosmetic surgical procedures. When
it does go into effect, this tax could reduce the demand for such procedures
and by extension the market for medical lasers used in cosmetic procedures.
Meanwhile, medical laser technology is continuing to evolve. New laser sources
with potential medical applications include fiber lasers, light-emitting
diodes (LEDs), and organic LEDs (OLEDs). Plastic foils as surface emitters
could become important as an irradiation source in photo-dynamic therapy
(PDT). In addition to new laser sources, the development of new applicators
and tool holders will continue to widen the range of applications for existing
types of lasers. Finally, the spread of new laser applications such as
nanosurgery, OCT, and sophisticated fluorescence microscopy will stimulate the
growth of the medical laser market.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The market for medical lasers, in other words, is in a period of considerable
flux. This report is an update of an earlier BCC report published in 2009. The
overall goal of this study is to provide the reader with an up-to-date
understanding of the technological, economic, and regulatory forces that are
influencing the future size and structure of the market for medical lasers.
Specific objectives include the following:

Identifying the medical laser technologies and applications with the
greatest commercial potential in the near to mid-term (2010 - 2016)

Analyzing the key drivers and constraints that will shape the market for
medical lasers over the next 5 years

Estimating the current and future demand for medical lasers through 2016.
Ascertaining which companies are best positioned to meet this demand, because
of proprietary technologies, strategic alliances, or other advantages.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

The report is intended especially for vendors of medical lasers, as well as
government agencies, healthcare policy analysts, and others seeking to
understand the medical applications of laser technologies. Although the report
focuses on specific technologies, it is largely nontechnical in nature. That
is, it is concerned less with theory and jargon than with what works, how much
of the latter the market is likely to purchase, and at what price.

As such, the report's main audience is executive management, marketing, and
financial analysts. It is not written specifically for scientists and
technologists, although its findings concerned the market for their work,
including the availability of government and corporate research funding for
different technologies and applications should interest them as well.

SCOPE AND FORMAT

The report addresses the global market for lasers used in diagnostic,
therapeutic, and cosmetic applications during the period from 2010 through
2016. It addresses the market in its entirety as well as in selected regional
and country markets.

The report does not cover the market for lasers used in the fabrication of
medical devices (e.g., in the creation of microscopic features and spot
welds). The focus is on the market for lasers themselves, rather than the
larger pieces of equipment that incorporate them.

The format of the study includes the following elements:

METHODOLOGY

Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in this research
report. The findings and conclusions of this report are based on information
gathered from developers, vendors, integrators, and users of medical lasers.
Interview data were combined with information gathered through an extensive
review of secondary sources such as trade publications, trade associations,
company literature, and online databases to produce the baseline market
estimates contained in this report.

The base year for analysis and projection is 2010. With 2010 as a baseline,
market projections were developed for 2011 - 2016. The projections are based
on a combination of a consensus among the primary contacts combined with BCC's
understanding of the key market drivers and their impact from a historical and
analytical perspective.

The specific assumptions and approach BCC used to develop the projections
(both near/mid-term and long term) for each application are documented in
detail under the various segments addressed. This way, readers can see how the
market estimates were developed and, if they so desire, test the impact on the
final numbers of changing assumptions regarding such matters as date of
regulatory approval.

All dollar projections presented in this report are in 2010 constant dollars.
